I never thought you would be the one
I never thought you would be the sun
In this worn out place
In this dark and lonely space

I didn’t expect a second chance
I never gave you a second glance
I’m an empty man
In a bitter, broken land

And you can see the face of God in everything
It’s not the way I want it to be
It’s not the way I planned it
And you can see the face of God in everything
It’s not the way I want it to be
It’s not the way I planned it
But it’s the way I feel

I never thought this would be your role
I never thought you could save my soul
With your flag unfurled
In this cold and godless world

Nothing was further from my mind
I’ve never been cruel, but I’m not kind
It’s a ‘hard knock life’
It’s a one stop, one-way life

And you can see the face of God in everything
It’s not the way I want it to be
It’s not the way I planned it
And you can see the face of God in everything
It’s not the way I want it to be
It’s not the way I planned it
But it’s the way I feel
